Miners stay on road against UNT

[Harry]

Miners hope to set aside a ‘rough weekend’ as they go against UNT.

At 0-9, there’s not much left to resurrect from the Miners’ crucifixion of a season. 

Here’s a stat for the books: UTEP is one of just two winless teams in all of FBS. The only other team is Georgia Southern, the Sun Belt-affiliated team that actually has been in arms’ reach with their league opponents, giving them some hope at a win down the line. 

UTEP’s chances at a win, on the other hand, look slim as the team takes on North Texas (6-3) this Saturday, then LA Tech (4-5) at home and UAB (6-3) to close off the year. 

“Not a happy camper right now. Not going like we thought it would be,” interim head coach Mike Price said.

Well Wadley is out so I feel better about our defense. 

[Withers940]

After reading their offensive production in this article, I learned that we better not allow them to score more than 20 and rush for more than 100 yards. If we do, we might now clinch the West Saturday. 

I knew that UTEP was Winless but I didnt realize just how bad this team is. UTEP would like nothing more than to get their first win against their cross state "Rival" so we better not over look these Guys

I kind of feel bad for these guys, QB's are hurt. They don't know who they are going to start. 

But at the same time, just go full throttle.. we need some payback from last year.

Very few teams go 0-12.  Hell, Todd Dodge didn't even accomplish that and he was about as skilled at losing games as anybody in the history of college football. 

I expect a win on Saturday, but I'm not gonna walk around with my chest pumped out all this week as if the game has already happened and the W is already recorded.

I feel bad for them. We are playing a West Texas advanced high school this week. The article talked about how UNT has a defense they haven't seen with all of the blitz combos. Their running game is in jeopardy (not as if they have much of an offense anyways). Our offense should roll with ease too. If we focus, we win big. Only reason I don't want to run up the score on them is because they have a "new" coach. However, I would still love to see this game put to bed by halftime.

we should have put a few teams away at half time but failed to do it.

We can't afford the luxury of feeling bad for them. We must focus and win this game because there is too much at stake. Oh, and we had a new coach last year...payback is a bitch! Please don't fall for the "woe is me" rhetoric from them, then watch them come out balls-on-fire and maybe pull an upset. The fisherman has no compassion for the bait!

Y'all.
The FAU debacle has you all scared.   The team won't let that happen again.

Not in that they have a new coach from an aesthetic thing, but this new coach didnt do keep the pedal down. But, yes, lets just win the damn game!

The Mean Green have a lot to play for so I like our positioning in this game.  It is homecoming and there will be a solid crowd.  It will be football weather and he students are going to show.  Utep is going to be smiling by the end of the game not because they got the W but because they will have winked real hard and caught the attention of their next coach in the Press Box.

its like an Oprah show this weekend - you win you win everybody freaking wins!!!!!

😂.  Todd Dodge is 6-37 all time in college football

Would love to see them upset LA Tech at home and knock the Bulldogs out of bowl contention.

After taking a beating to us, of course.

[DeepGreen]

Don't even show this "woe is me" article to the team.  We need to put the pedal to the metal and curb stomp the Miners.  Too much at stake.  Beat the crap out of UTEP!!!!
